Is it hard for us to be kind

I’m so caught up in my own head that being truly selfless and kind is just that much times harder

My experiences have made me invent a saying

“The more help you need, the less you get
And
The less help you need, the more you get”

When I really needed help, nobody was around.

So now I’m cold hearted :cold_face:.

People made it easy for me to be cold hearted.

I think kindness is about focusing on giving to those around you. I wouldn’t obsess over it. Just try to do your best. Be generous with your spirit.

I’m still clinging on to being kind, it’s hard with all the crap I went through with certain neighbors. It’s hard to be kind when people are treating you badly. And amid ongoing abuse.

I also try to be selfless…for instance…when I get my backpacker guitar I am lending it to two teen girls in church to learn how to play…all I have is a 12 string so I can’t let them learn on that and the backpacker guitar is a six string…so as soon as i get it I’m lending it to them for a year or so until they get their own guitars.

It is difficult for me. Being honest. It is something I work at with therapy exercises.

I try to open up but it’s hard when you are constantly paranoid and distrustful of others

It’s definitely harder for us to be kind than others. Remember you have greater challenges than your average folk, and don’t beat yourself up too much.

If I ever fail to be kind I usually try to mend fences with the person soon afterwards.

The older I get the more I want to cuss everyone out.

No I don’t think it’s hard to be kind. Just be conscientious and care about others, have empathy. I think kindness generates kindness.

But I find it hard when people are unkind towards you but there is always someone that is kind and doesn’t judge or look down upon you.

Personnally I tend to act kind with others because I always acted this way

I also think I should act with others the way I want to be treated

I know how I feel when I’m mistreated. That enables me to be kinder to others because I don’t wish pain and suffering on them, even if I don’t particularly like them

Manners are important. If I can’t be kind I can at least try to be polite.
